Making a folder 'access denied' ??
Hiding files...making files in a drive delete-proof without any application
A. Everybody has a huge collection of R-rated movies or tv shows like spartacus,game of thrones, californication which we do not want others to access
But how do we hide them
1. i simply put them in a folder (e:\movies\xxx)
and make it system hidden(using attrib)
but its easily accessible when u type the address in address bar
2. and another way is to make the folder 'access denied'
like the message we get when we access the 'system volume information' folder
i tried using the security tab(using cacls.exe command)(only in ntfs system)
and is a pretty good method but get a message below the access denied 'u can change it using security tab'
so u can revert that as well
3. and there is another stupid way to make the folder recycle bin/control panel etc etc
which makes it more obvious that there is something fishy here
i know even simply changing the attribute of the folder is enough as most non-techies wont be able to change it.
but is there any other fool proof-way?
B. and one more thing is there any way to make the whole drive delete-proof
i mean when we try to delete or move /modify the file we should get a access denied message but should be able to read or access the file
